NaHCO3 HCl====NaCl H2O CO2↑

These properties of baking soda make it have many important uses in production and life. In fire extinguishers, it is one of the raw materials that produce carbon dioxide; in the food industry, it is a main raw material for baking powder; it is also a commonly used raw material when making refreshing drinks; in medicine, it is used to treat gastric acid Too much of one potion.
